Adorable Crib

Since the baby is going to be in our room, you know me....
the crib HAD to match our decor!
So, we did a last minute overhaul on bed colors.
I think it turned out so cute!
And don't worry, there's still a TON of pink! :)

It's hard to believe our little girl will be sleeping here
very soon!

Baby Showers Galore!

Our little girl is growing!
She likes to play patty cake with daddy and wiggles out of the way when I put something cold against my belly! I'm enjoying my summer off to relax and get ready for her arrival!

WALL - E

Beth, Nicole and I took Patrick to see his first movie today ... WALL-E!

Our 2nd Anniversary

We had a lovely dinner at the Hermitage Inn

in Historic Clifton. This was the inn where we had
our wedding reception.
It was truly a "trip down memory lane!"

But we made sure to save room for dessert at home...
because Mike surprised me
with a chocolate cake he made from scratch!
It was delicious! :)
